Common Frigidaire Dryer Problems
- Dryer making noise. Frigidaire says to fasten buckles and metal fasteners, check the drum for coins, then run an empty load; if the noise continues with the drum empty, contact service. Source: Frigidaire - Is it normal for my dryer to make sounds or noises?
- Dryer stops running. Frigidaire says an overloaded dryer can overheat its motor, so let it cool about 30 minutes and cut the load to a third to half of the drum; a tripped thermal limiter on electric models needs a technician. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my dryer stops operating?
When to Call for Frigidaire Dryer Repair
